English Premier League

Alexis Sanchez is set to spark fresh speculation

Arsenal turn to Juan Cuadrado after failing with Thomas Lemar

The English Premier League giants have had a shaky start to the season, finding themselves dejectedly placed 11th in the league, albeit, only 4 games have been played.

Reports from ESPN claim that Arsene Wenger will make another attempt for Monaco's Thomas Lemar in January, despite failing to sign him on deadline day.

Arsenal, however, are seemingly resigned to the fact that the winger wants to stay at Monaco. The reports further indicate that Arsenal could target former Chelsea player - Juan Cuadrado as an alternative.

Alexis Sanchez reportedly wants a move to Real Madrid

Contract rebel Alexis Sanchez has refused to sign a new contract with Arsenal and is set to walk away from the club for free in January when his current contract expires. The Chilean came incredibly close to a move to Manchester City towards the end of the transfer window, but Arsenal's reluctance to sanction a move to a rival put a spanner in the works.

Reports in the Daily Star claim that Sanchez wishes for a move to La Liga champions - Real Madrid. The 28-year old reportedly reveres Zinedine Zidane and wants to link up with the French tactician at the Bernabeu in the future.
